The Philips CDi or CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) is an interactive multimedia CD player developed and marketed by Philips Electronics. Much like the Commodore CDTV, thw CDi device was created to provide more functionality than an audio CD player or game console, but at a lower price than a personal computer with CD-ROM drive at the time.Well although this type of consoles released mainly as multimedia players (video-cd playback, cd-audio playback, video-games etc), early software releases in the CDi format focused heavily on educational, music, and self-improvement titles, with only a handful of video games, many of them adaptations of board games such as Connect Four. Later attempts to develop a foothold in the games market were rendered irrelevant by the arrival of cheaper and more powerful consoles, such as the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. Earlier CDi games included entries in popular Nintendo franchises, although those games were not developed by Nintendo. Specifically, a Mario game (titled Hotel Mario), and three Legend of Zelda games were released: Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure. Nintendo and Philips had established an agreement to co-develop a CD-ROM enhancement for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System due to licensing disagreements with Nintendo's previous partner Sony! It is probably a video-game consoles that did not made enthusiasts and did not offered true gameplay, but a few pretty much impressives (in terms of visuals and sound) games released back then such as Zelda, Lucky Luke, Dragon's Lair 2, Litil Divil, Mutant Rampage etc
